In October Swim Wales announced an innovative new competition for its members with the launch of its Super Series.
The inaugural virtual event is being held across 3 stages that span 1 week each, culminating in a Super Final. Those swimmers who land among the top 8 within each age group at the end of stage 3 will be invited to the final. Standings will be presented via a leaderboard updated throughout the stages.
